"A IJlit Dry Ooods Bln/.c.
In department parlance , thcro was a dirty
Uro at I-inrkln &Co's dry goods utaro , UK
nnd fllG North Sixteenth , last night about 0
o'clock. It broke out in the Imiomont ,
whcro n great .quantity of refuse paper ,
cotton batting , cloth in bolt , clonks , etc. ,
was stored. This stuff catching flro first ,
particularly the refuse and cotton , caused
HUch linnicnso volumes of dcnso nmol < o
ns to seriously worry and hinder the lira-
men , who wrro promptly on the ground , In
gelling at the lire.
The alarm had scarcely been turned In by
Onicer Huylo , who was llio first to discover
the fire , when tlio smduo wound I la way up
into nnd filled the store room , nnd then on
nil throughout the Hotel Ksmond , which
occupies all thu upper floors of the block In
which the dry goods establishment
Is situated. ThU produced n perfect panic
among tlio scores uf guests and servants ,
who rustled down Iho mnlnontrntico in tcrrl-
bio contusion , many scared almost to the
point ot Insanity. Scarcely any hud retired ,
though some of the ladies were partially en
illsbabllo as tbey fairly flow into tlio streets ,
Hovornl of them screaming with terror.
If every room In tlio large , Immluomo
block had been on ilro the amount of smoke
could scarcely linvo been greater , for ovcry
corridor Wits so full of It thai the hundrcdx
of gns jets seemed to have been suddenly
oxtlngulslieil , and to this fact wns duo the
Inicnso terror which for a tlmu reigned supreme
premo .
Night Clerk Oorold was Iho llrst to
discover the smoke's entrance lo the
hotel proper , nnd to discover that the prop
erty then In his Care was in no Inuiiodiaio
clanger. By his efforts and nbsurances any
very serious results from the panic were
avortod.
When the firemen broke in various doors
and windows of the basement to got
ut the ilro the volumes of smoke
which rolled forth surgnssed In grcalncs
anything of the kind ever before encountered
in Omnhu. Although it seemed ns much us
life wus worth to crawl Into the turnnco-lika
holC'.A'et many of Ihoui entered and had ono
of tlio ugliest and most dnnu'crous ex
periences of their lives. Tnoy could
remain no longer than a minute , as
it seemed , bo that it was necessary
to resort to Hooding the immense collar.
"While Ibis was being douo Iho store doors
ivoro forced open. 1'ho heat seemed fur-
nuco-liko , but tlio boys uiudo , ihelr way to the
roar llrst , where it was found that tlio lira
was making wny up ihrough iho lloor.
Owing lo iho numerous counters , mass of
Hholvlng , small boxen , etc. , serious troub'.o
ivns again experienced hcic.
Nearly nn hour was consumed in totally
conquering the flames. During that time it
was found necessary to almost drench the
entire interior of iho big double store room ,
n process which , witli ttio firemen stumbling ,
Imlf sulfoculed and entirely blinded
throughout all portions of it , resulted
in ttio almost total wrcciiingol what an hour
before wns one of the most extensive and
handsomest retail dry goods stores in the
entire west. Long shelves nnd counters
piled full of the finest nllks , satins , velvets
and vuriotm other rich goods were soaked
with muddy water and covered with cinders.
.Long rows of show cases containing
laces , ribbons , fans , gloves , etc. , were many
of them broken and in thu condition just dc-
Hcribed. There were iuchcs of water all over
the btoro lloor , and moie than three feet of
water in ttio cellar. In Iho adjolujng alloy
were piled ihreo or four wagon loads of line
pluMi ami beaver cloaks , heavy skirts , blan
kets nnd bolt goods , nearly every ono of
them yet aliro or completely Beaked witn
. water , piled UP in thu mud and filth.
Air. Larklu , llio senior member of the
linn , wuf nt iho Kilo club when ttio lira
broke out , so that rvord was delayed in
reaching him. When ho did nrrlvo , now-
ever , nud took in the ruin and desolation of
the sconellho Might proved too much for him
nnd uo burst into tears , A litllo later
MB wife , with but a shawl over her head , -
rushed lo his aule nnd wns totally overcome
by the situation ,
In response lo inquiries , Mr. Lnrkin said
that it wus Impossible for him to collect his
thoughts sufllcient to give ether than gon-
ernlllgures. Ho valued his stocic ut10,000 ,
nnd after us close an inspection ns wus pos
sible under tlio circumstances ho foil sure
that tno loss would be two-tmrds of that
amount. Ho carried but $10,000 insurance.
Thu building is owned by Uroxol & Hart ,
and Ihu lalter said It was fully Insured , and
that ho thought the dumaco done to 'It would
iiot exceed $2,000. and possibly
bo much less , owing to tno fact that the Ilro
did not got above tno floor of the storo. Mr.
Ilnrt said that ho had repeatedly cautioned
ISlr. Lnrkin about allowing so much rubbish
to accumulate iu the collar. The hotel men
nlso spoke with great emphasis on the rub-
bis li question. They said tnat they had been
afraid of it for souio time , nud had intended
to report it to the authorities ibis week.
Whatever damage was done the hotel Inst
night resulted from the lurrillu volumes of
smoke whlon poured ihrough it for some tnno ,
though just what this damage is could not
bo estimated at the time.
Police Captain Mostyn nnd a largo squad
of ofllccra were on the scene ns soon as ttio
llremen , and with them dcsurvo special com-
luondullon for iho excellent services they
rendered In taking cnro of the immense
crowds nnd protecting the poods which wuro
carried into iho street nud alley.
The origm of ihc Ilro is a complete mys
tery.

Nnw YOIIK , March ll.--Spccial ! | Telegram
to THE Utit : A lltllw Joker ImsUieon discov
ered In the Union Pncltlo * ftindlnC bill now
pending in the United States senate. It was
Intended to defeat the government postal
telegraph scheme winch Is being .urged ny
Postmaster General Wnnnmnkor. Although
It is not generally understood , the construc
tion nnd operation of the United Statos'pos-
tul tnlcBrapti would bo much Blmpllllcd by
the Immediate use of tholmoj'of the Pacific
railroads ai an Important part of tlio pro
posed system. It would give the govern-
men' lines from the Missouri rlvor
to the Pacific. There Is some
question ns to whether the government
would not linvo the right to utilize tlio tolo-
grnph lines uf nil the brunch roads built by
the Union nnd Control Pnclllc companies out
of their earnings , ocsldos those of the tensed
roads. If this point should bo established ,
then the richest nnd most populous section of
the ontlro trnns-Mlssourl couniry would bo
provided with a telegraph system thai could
bo incorporated wit tlio ono established by
the government or under Its supervision.
Postmaster General Watiamnker , who is
very much interested In having his pot
project carried out and adopted by congress ,
lully understands tlio advantage of Using
the lines of the subsidized Pacific railroads.
Ho wus stnrtlcd last week when his
attention was called to n little
scheme of Jny Gould by which ho waste
to bo bended offr It wns pointed out to
Mr. Wnnnmakor that the passing of the
i'Vyo funding bill for the extension of the
Union Pacific's debt to tlio government
would seriously interfere with thu postal
telegraph. Section 3 of that bill provides
for the removal of government control of
the Union Pacific. That would permit the
Western Union to retain its monopoly of all
the Union Pacific's wires without any
hindrance whatever , because It would bo u
practical If not absolute rclinnutshmont of
all claims against the railroad. For the
public interest it became apparent to tbo
postmaster general that section II , of the
bill , nt least , would huvo to bo beaten.
The consideration of the bill was * to have
been taken up in the tno sonata March 'I , tut
Senator Fryo caused its postponement then
and assigned as n reason that the Blair edu
cational oil ! wns in the way. Rumors of n
conflict over tbo 'bill have bcon afloat aud it
is said that there have been stormy scenes
In the senate committee on' Pacific
railroads within the past lew dnya. Confer
ences have been hold in the Western Union
ofllcos nnd an attempt was made to compro
mise the matter. . The administration , bolng
committed to the postmaster general's
scheme , could not afford to have it blocked ,
but on the other hand several influential
senators were pushing Fryo's bill and this
complicated matters. Gould would not'listen
to anything that did not abolish government
control of the Union Pnclllc , as ho practically
controls the board of directors now , n major
ity of whom are interested in the Western
Union. It would bo impossible to make Iho.
railroad company accept nuy bill that did not
contain this provision.
Tlio House Committee's Action.
'WASHINGTON , March 13. The house com
mittee on Pacific railroads today further
considered Iho question as lo < whether it
should report a single bill providing for the
settlement of the government 'indebtedness
of the Union Pacific nnd 'Ceptral _ Pacific
railroads ( as wns done by'tho senaio'com-
milleo ) , or whether it should report separ
ata Dills in the rasa of each of the companies.
There Is much difference of opinion in the
committee on iho question , nnd ibis mo'rn-
'
ing's discussion did not result in an' agree
ment. The published statement that the
secreta. of the treasury has1 invested
moneys lo thu credit of iho companies in their
llrst mortgage bonds was discussed
and the following resolution Wns' oidered
presented to Iho house :
Hesolved , That the secretary of the treasury -
ury bo requested lo inform Iho house
whether the government of the UnitiHl States
is the owner or holder of any llrst mortgage
securities of any of the Pacific railway com
panies winch were aided by the government ,
and If so the amount of such securities held
or owned by the government , wlien and In
what manner , nnd by what authority" the
same were acquired. *
Rnilrond Official * Questioned.
CHICAGO , March 13. The intcrstato pom-
mcrco commission ] hold no session this
morning. This afternoon Chairman Faithhorn
of the Western Freight association was put
on the stand and questioned ns td Iho freight
rates charged on corn and other producls
between. Kansas , Nebraska and eastern
points.
Ho contended that the present rates from
Nebraska and Kansas were " 5 to 30 per cent
lower than llvo years ngo , the reduction
having been constant and gradual. Ho said
iu reply to a question tbat ho could not toll
whether the cost of operating railroads was
not considerably less than formerly.
Chairman Walker of the "Giiutlomen's"
association argued that the troubles ot the
farmers was duo not to excessive freight
rates , but to unusually largo crops , tlio latter
fact causing prices to fall below remuner
ative figures. Further reduction of railroad
rates would only pull the market lower nnd
not help iho farmers.
The commissioner * ndjourncd to contluuo
the investigation in Sioux City.

FORTUNE CAME AT LAST.
Ono Good Washerwoman Less , One
( '
Weixlthy 'Widow More.
There is considerable stir amonjj a
number of good Indies who are now
looking about for a washerwoman , says
the Indianapolis'1 Journal. It ctimo
about in this way : Mrs. Kelly , if woman
about fifty-Iivo years old , living in the
rear of George W. Stout's residence , on
North , Noridian street , has been etirn-
intj her livelihood hy washing. She is
a hard working woman , a member of
the First Baptist church.
She says that about ten years ago ,
upon the death ot her father , she in
herited a piece of property in St. Louis ,
upon which there was a mortgage of
S-,600. For this property she was of
fered $15,000 , which she refused to take ,
her friends advising her that it was
worth Inore. She got no income from
it , but kept on wa'jhing having found a
tenant to whom she leased tlio house
and lot for 850 a month and arranged
that all in oxcc.83 of taxes and
repairs was to bo applied upon
the mortgage. It was a temptation
for her to take $ lo,000 , but she re
sisted , continued at work , and the ether
day she received , notice that the last
payment had been made , and the prop
erty , whicii ia in tlio heart of tlio city ,
was free of debt and all her own , being
valued at nearly $ -10,000. Later came
news of the death of a brother in Cali
fornia , who loft her a fortune of $00,000.
It is said sh6 arranged with a St. Louis
imin , fur u fee of $1,000 , to go to Cali
fornia and make full settlement ; that
ho returned with S 10,000 in approved
securities , cblolly United States bonds ,
but that $ liOOOOtinoro is coming to her ,
which will rcqlilrti lior personal pres
ence to make proper settlement. The
ladies lose a good washerwoman , but

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION ,
It Onuses n Heated Debate In the
Bouato.
MR. HOAR MAKES A MISTAKE.
Scnntorn Blicrinnii and Ilutlcr Ilnvo
an Animated Dialogue--The Olcln-
lioma lUonsuru I'nsaoil
In llio House.
Bpnntc.
S , March 18. In the senate to-
diiy the bailie bill for bridges across the Alls-
sou i' [ river'at Bouth Pierre , and nereis
the Columbia river between Wash
ington mid Oregon , similar to ttio semite bill
pnsiod and sent to the house , wns amended
by arfow vdrbal changes and passed.
Air. Fr.vo , fiom the oomnilUea On com-
me.rco. reported n bill to repeal the liuv ot
the lust congress requiring steamships to
carry rockots.nnd guns for Casting the line
In cnso 01 distress. Placed on the calendar.
Among the bills passed for public build
ings wns ono appropriating $150,000 for Hast
ings , Nob. , and fJlUO.OOO for Stlllwuter ,
Minn.
Mr. Eustls took the floor and referred to
the statements rondo by Mr. Honryestordny ,
ouo of them being that In the state of Louts-
lana and In some other southern states thcro
\voro laws which niado it a penal olTenso for
a white rnnn to associate on terms of equal
ity with a negro , and also to the effect that
thcro was a law whloh provided for the sale
of any colored man found for n certain tltno
out of work , and that his former uiastors
should have the preference In the purcnnso.
He dented emphatically that thcro wns any
such law in Louisiana , and spoke of the
recklessness and destitution of any sense ol
responsibility with which republican sena
tors spoke of southern affairs.
Mr. Hoar alu he might. Imvo erred as to
the state in which such law was passed , but
quoted , substantially from laws of Missis
sippi passed in ISfiS. Ho thought substan
tially the same law had been enacted in
Louisiana.
I lib educational bill then came up and
Blair inudu a brief address. Ho also read
oxtructs from a speech of President Harri
son when u senator in 18SO , favoring the
bill , and said the president hold thu same
Bcntimonts. today.
'llio southern question cama up again and
Mr. Hour admitted that his statements about
Louisiana wuro incorrect.
Mr. Sherman asked Mr. Eustis whether
ho did not know ttio fifteenth amendment
never would have been proposed but for the
fact that' ' ttio laws of the southern states
were , depriving the uogro of the rights-of
citizenship.
Mr. Eustis replied it was his honest con
viction that all roconstruetioa measure.- , were
adopted by the republican party with the
single objcqt of Africanizing the south and
of maintaining the political supremacy , and
characterized it us the "greatest crime over
committed against a civilized community. "
Mr. bhcrman' then took part in the discus
sion , which became a heated political contro
versy. Ho truce'd the course of the recon
struction movement and said at the close of
the war it had not been contemplated to arm
the negro with the suffrage , but the laws
passed by some southern states were so un
just to the colored people and to the
whlto republicans in the south tuat the people
ple o ! ttio north had been convinced that
the object/of the south was to overthrow the
results ot llio war and to deprive the freedmen -
men of all the rights of citizenship. When
the time came it was seen that there was no
way to protect ttio emancipated people ex
cept by arming them with the suffrage.
Congress Had reluctantly , slowly , but delib
erately adopted that remedy as the onlv ono
llttod for the _ oaso. Ho ( Sherman ) had
sometimes thought it might possibly have
been better riot to have adopted the fifteenth
amendment , conferring the suffrage on the
coloredmaii , because that richt had been
nullified and uprooted. The result of the
fifteenth amendment was practically to glvo
the southern states increased rep
resentation in the bouse of repre
sentatives and increased power in
the electoral college. If there was auj thing
wrong in the situation of southern affairs
the people of the south had brought it on
themselves. There was no feeling of hate in
the north against the south. If equal rights
were all thu people in the south secured the
people in ttio north would bo satisfied. It
was true the fifteenth amendment had not
turned out as expected because no man
dreamed that such measures as hud been re
sorted to id the south would have been ro-
sertcd to to deprive the negro of his rights.
No ono had dreamed of the kuklux kluns
and ail tlio savage machinery by which that
exclusion had been perfected.
Mr. Uutlcr suggested1'that the rcconstruo
tion measures and the fifteenth amendment
were not s6 much duo to objectionable legis
lation in the south as to the conflict between
Andrew Johnson and the republican con
gress.
Sherman replied that the selection of
Andrew Johnson ; a southern man and a
democrat , for the vice president was proof
of tbo generous ticatment the north haa
shqwn to the south , but Johnson had deserted -
sorted the republican party and turned his
back upon it when ho came into power and
congress tied his hands and prevented the
carrying out of his policy.
Uutlcr Then I understand the Senator-
from Ohio to aduiit that the southern peo-
piu are not alone responsible , but that An-
arow Johnson , a republican president , was
inoro responsible for tlin enactment of ox-
trorno measures ugainst the south.
Sherman I loolc upon Andrew Johnson as
a southern man and u democrat ,
Uutlor Ho wns your republican president
mid the people of the south had no authority
to look to after they surrendered except the
executive.
Sherman The southern pcoplo hud the
right to look to congress as the governing
power of tha country.
Sherman wont on to say to the senators of
the other sldo : "Thoro Is a feeling in the
north tnat not only have the negroes in tbo
south been deprived of their votes , but thiit ,
th'o pcoplo of tno south now enjoy larger
political power than the same number of
people in the north. Lot the south obey the
constitutional amendments. Lot It give the
negro luaivoto nnd permit him to vote as ho
will , I would not euro if all tbo negroes
would vote the democratic ticket , but this
fooling of Injustice docs prevail In the north
that while-you are depriving the colored
people of their votes you are oxeralsing
undue power in the government. The
north denies any hatred , but demands
justice. And now I say that beyond
and above tills educational bill or any other
pending measure is an act of congress that
will necuro to every mini in the United
Utatos entitled to vote his right to cast his
vote have It counted , Whenever co'nitress
rises to tha dignity of pusslncr such a law.
that will bounform thioughoul the United
States , Directing Massachusetts and Ohio as
well us South Carolina , uvcry man will fool
that.lt is a just and fair law and there will be
no further ground for complaint. Congress
cannot oxerclso any control in the local nf-
fnlra of the southern states , but what wo
insist uponI'D that there shall bo a law that
will project the right of miffraco and that
that law shall bo executed with such power
that no , man dnro expose himself to Its
'
penalty. " „
Duller followed Sherman. Ho upako of
the exclusion of colored men In the northern
status from all political otllcos and said that
on the contrary theru was tin such discrimi
nation in the south. "J liU very day and for
tlio past wqok the newspapers have boon
teeming vVHh accounts of white men In Ok
lahoma , and republicans among thorn , an-
nounclng to thu world that if ttio colonul
people dared assert their rleht to control the
territory by superiority of numbers they
would drive thorn out at the point of the
bayonet. " Ho had seen accounts of outrage
on colored people in Ohio and Indiana , and
yat had heard nol ono avllablo of protem. Ho
would tell the senator from Ohio that when
ever ho attempted to carry out bis throat of
another cruaado on ttio south , through
supervisors and United States mar *
duals , for the purpose of domi
nating llio olnctlonn there , ho would
have n lira" in hla rear from men In the
north who carried their money and ttieli-
industry into tha south. Whenever ho at
tempted to re-establish In the southern states
tbwo reconstruction government * which
had loft In their trait the black march o
BK ] > lalon. ! ! disgrace nnd humiliation , thor
would nrlso a protest In his own state tha
would cuusa him ( o hcultnto before ho carried
riod U out. Ho ( llutlor ) would not oxchnngt
ono hour of good order In the south for nl
thu political power" that negro suffraea Jmt
given the south. Ho appealed to tbo sen
ntoru and the people ot the north to bellovo
the southern men when thov aid they were
far more Interested in mi orderly , Humane
honest sentiment of the question than tha
pcoplo of the north could possibly bo. Ad
journcd.

the olghtccn-.vonr'Old daughter of James W.
Atkinson , n prominent and wealthy farmer
living a few miles west of tins place , wlillo
returning homo through u strip of wood.s
yesterday afternoon , encountered a tramp
who Holzud her nnd throw bar to the
ground. Ho Ihrcatonod to cut
her throat if she should maicu
an outcry. As the ulrl struggled to rolcnso
bcrsolf the tramp seized her by the hair and '
savored a brniJ from her bend close to the
scalp , Inflicting a severe wound on the buck
of her head as ho did BO. The terrified girl
fainted , and when she gained consciousness
her hands were tightly bound behind nnd her
jaws were pried open by a pluc of wood so
that sha could ultorno sound. Her assailant
had cut her clothes from her body
with his knife , nnd in doing so
had inflicted several deep gushes on her
litubs. After the wrctcli had accomplished
his design Miss Atkin&on fainted and when
she recovered she saw the trnmp escaping
toward tlio direction of Kansas City.
Half dead with excitement nnd terror ,
with her hands bound and the gag still in
her mouth , she dragged herself homo , whcro
she related her ternbio experience. Atkin
son gave the alarm uinom ; the surrounding
farms and by evening llvo hundred armed
men were scouring the country for the tramp.
A trnmp named 1'olllns , who resembles the
description of Miss Atkinson's assailant , wns
arrested early this morning nt Greenwood ,

railway station tticro for protection I'ntll ho

Tlio mob finally consented to ColllnV re

sttttcd that ho was not her assailant. Collins
then walked back to town , where ho wai

Manchester Courier : Of the many
interesting matters that come under tlio
noticO of the reginlrar general there ia
nothing more .surprising than tlio fro-
qutfticy with which youth and ago try
the pathy of matrimony together. Of
: , ; ! Uli brides over Ilfty yoaro of ago who
were married last year , onn .secured a
youth of twenty , three wore accom-
-modalod by men of twenty-one and
fourteen otliord kept their choice of
striplings below twenty-live. In one of
the last named cases the good lady was
forty years older than her partner.
Turning to the veterans amongst the
husbamlb there is ovou greater dispar
ity. There were never fewer than 3UH
bridegrooms above seventy years of ngq ,
and of these one took a girl of s6ven-
tcon , another of nineteen , and four olh-
ors kept iindor twonty-ono. Betwoou
jixty and bovcnty yearsof ago H.OSi'mon
married. Three of them took glr
under eighteen , and twenty-suTOii ethers
ors were content with piirtnoro who hnd
not reached their majority. As many
is 1,070 mules whoso ngos ranged be
< \voon fifty and bi.xty were also brought
: o tbo altar , and hero again a score of
the wives were in their loons. A hun
dred were not more than twonty-ouo
and ! ! I8 were under twenty-llvo" .
Among otnt-r strange matches was
opo botwnen a couple of octogenarians ,
while Ihruo ladies of "eighty-live and
upward" got hiHUands whoso ages were
boveiity-llvo , aixty-llvo and iifty-ilvo re-
bpoctivoly. Taking the geiitloinoii of
' ' and " iind that
'oighty-llvo upward" wo
0110 of ihom secured a bride of forty-
: lvo. lut ! even greater contrasts are to
jo soon in the venerable Adonis of
seventy who gotatnatoof twenty-one ,
and in the sovonty-livo-year-old buck
who secured a blushing damsel of nine-
tee n.
n.At the ether enn of the scale wo have
a marriage botwcon a girl of thirteen
and a boy of eighteen , another whcro
the contracting parties were sixteen
each , nnd a third whore men of twenty-
ono saddle thomsolvca with wives of
fourteen. Two husbands of thirty took
partners wliuso ages were under fifteen ,
while no fewer tlmu neventy hmbuudo
of forty found wives of from sixteen to
twenty yeafd of ago.

If you would have a line display of

icat is supplied by a stove , an open
vessel upon it kept constantly filled
vith water will provide tlio ncouod
